The [[HVY]] '''Barracks Semi''' is a [[military]] truck featured in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]] and [[Grand Theft Auto Online]]''.

==Design==

==Design==

−

The vehicle itself has the same design as the [[Barracks OL]], but the rear is adapted to attach trailers. Like its counterpart, when someone invades the [[Fort Zancudo|base]], it is used to block theplayer.

+

The vehicle itself has the same front end and main cabin design as the [[Barracks OL]], but the rear is adapted to attach trailers, as the namesuggests.

+

Like the transport variant and other military ground vehicles, it patrols [[Fort Zancudo]] and is seen parked in several areas.

+

+

In [[Grand Theft Auto Online|GTA Online]] and rarely in GTA V, the truck is often common in roads close to the base and also can be seen pulling various [[Towing|trailers]].

+

+

It doesn't make a scripted appearance in GTA V's storyline, except that it will appear along with other military vehicles during [[Cargobob (mission)|Cargobob]].

==Performance==

==Performance==

−

Due to its shorter wheelbase, it has better performance, braking, acceleration, and handling in comparison to its cousin, the [[Barracks OL]].

+

+

=== GTA V ===

+

Due to its shorter wheelbase, it has better performance in handling and turning, and above average acceleration when compared to similar vehicles and its cousin, the [[Barracks OL]]. The vehicle is very stable and easy to control. However, the brakes are much less responsive, taking a while to stop even at the lowest of speeds. The Barracks Semi is capable of pulling [[trailers]] much faster than normal semi tractors.

*Found at [[Fort Zancudo]], patrolling and parked in many places, especially some of them next to the southeast checkpoint.

*Can be found on the highway outside Fort Zancudo if the player approaches and leaves the base.

*Can be found on the highway outside Fort Zancudo if the player approaches and leaves the base.

+

* When entering the base, there is a chance that a Barracks Semi with one or two military men inside pursue the player inside the base, along with other [[Barracks OL]] and [[Crusader]]s.

+

* May spawn randomly in the [[Great Ocean Highway]] with a random trailer, however, this may be a bug.

== Trivia==

== Trivia==

−

*The Barracks Semi is the only military vehicle (besides the [[Titan]] and [[P-996 LAZER]]) that cannot be purchased on [[Warstock Cache & Carry]], therefore the only way to obtain one is by invading [[Fort Zancudo]] and quickly stealing one before the player gets [[Wasted|killed]] by the [[Military]].

An easy way to get one GTA Online is to steal one from the highway outside the military base with Lester's Blind Eye feature on, if there is none there, take a Cargobob into the base, with the Blind Eye feature on, and steal one from the eastern car park, or near the hangers to the north side of the base.

−

*The Barracks Semi can pull [[Towing|trailers]]. It has its own trailer which is a unique brown camouflage tanker trailer.

+

*The Barracks Semi can pull [[Towing|trailers]]. It has 2 own trailers:

+

**A unique brown camouflage tanker trailer, which appears in the base. The fuel could also be aviation fuel for aircrafts because of the way it explodes or normal fuel or both.

+

**A brown camouflage flatbed trailer, which is rare and cannot be found in freeroam.

+

*The Barracks Semi does burnouts easily, but will not do donuts on pavement (possibly due to a the double rear axle and comically oversized front wheels), it will however do extremely slow donuts on dirt.

+

*Unlike [[Barracks OL|its cousin]], the truck is named '''HVY Barracks Semi''', showing the manufacturer. However, it reveals that the transport variant is evidently a '''HVY Barracks'''.

+

*It's the first military semi, and the fastest semi in the game.

+

*There is a Barracks Semi wreck in the sea, just east of the [[Humane Labs and Research]] building (where wrecks of military vehicles can be seen), this wreck appears to be much larger than the standard truck.
